Eden's Crush, the pop quintet that spawned from the successful show Popstars, is now invading the music scene.Made up of Nicole Scherzinger, Maile Misajon, Ana Maria Lombo, Ivette Sosa, and Rosanna Tavarez, Eden's Crush may originate from the American version of Popstars, but the group is anything but All-American.garden of culturesEach one hails from a different cultural background (as well as extensive singing experience), which is evident in the various sounds and eclectic vibes of their debut album, simply entitled, Popstars.After months of grueling auditions and callbacks -- all serving as episodes of the show -- Eden's Crush was finally born. The five chosen members moved into an LA apartment together, and spent weeks in the recording studios.So who are the women of Eden's Crush? They are 22-year-old Nicole and Ana Maria, and 24-year-old Ivette, Maile and Rosanna.nicole hulas to stardomNicole Scherzinger hails from Honolulu, Hawaii, but calls Louisville, Kentucky home after her family moved there when she was young. Since her mother was a hula dancer, Nicole would join her mother in her performances, after her mother taught her hula dancing at age 3. Although Nicole took school and sports seriously, her heart was always in performing, and she attended a performing arts high school to perfect her singing.She certainly perfected her vocals all right -- she served as a female background vocalist for the band Days of the New, on tour and on their album.maile destined for fameNicole isn't the only one of Hawaiian descent. Maile Misajon, whose father is Filipino and Hawaiian and mother is Irish, can thank her parents for her musical skills. Her father began singing when he was 11; her mother was immersed in Hawaiian culture and learned to hula dance; and her brothers are musicians. Hula dancing since age 3, Maile joined her father's Long Beach band, the Elm Street Band, when she was 15.Maile always knew she was destined to perform, and so she attended a performing arts high school in Orange County, followed by UCLA School of Theater. Her blend of performing, whether it was singing or acting, made her a shoo-in for Popstar fame.ana maria, mamma miaAna Maria Lombo was born in Colombia, South America, but was raised in Wisconsin. She too can attribute her musical talent to her father, who was a musician in a rock band. Ana Maria and her family sang along to her father's playing and they performed for friends, until one day someone caught their act.Ana Maria was part of the family band, which traveled and moved from California, to Mexico (where Ana Maria spent a great deal of time), followed by Dallas and Los Angeles, and finally Arizona. But after some time, Ana Maria was ready to branch out on her own, which is when she auditioned for Popstars.ivette's not done yetIvette Sosa's performing life began when she danced in her grandmother's house at the age of 2. She finally enrolled in dance class, and since her father is a high school theater teacher, he taught her a lot about the skills involved in performing and acting. A big part of her influence comes from the circus, Broadway shows and musicals that Ivette and her family would attend, and she especially admires Gene Kelly.rosanna sings until tomorrowRosanna Tavarez also hails from a musical family, which encouraged young Rosanna to dance and sing. She was always surrounded by a lot of music, and it was clear that music was her calling when she started performing the song "Tomorrow" from Annie for her parents.crushing the competitionWith the production and songwriting assistance of über-producer David Foster (who has worked with Celine Dion several times), Matthew Gerrard, as well as ChakDaddy, SoL Survivor and E.
